He was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat in training camp and underwent a procedure that sidelined him through the first regular season game.

Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill released a statement, which says, in part:

"He is currently in normal sinus rhythm. He was released from the Cleveland Clinic today and is expected to return to Dallas tomorrow. He will be monitored closely and may require further treatment. There is no decision being made at this time on his ability to return to hockey participation."
